El Decameron Negro - 2. Huida De Los Amantes Por El Valle De Los Ecos
By Leo Brouwer
Tabbed by Scott Erickson (axeman1033@aol.com)
See key at bottom for notes on techniques
This is a great song, but extremely difficult. The time signature
changes almost every measure. The timing for most of the song is
really loose, there are a lot of held notes. The time signatures
are not very strict, except in the Echo Melody part.

treble part as in the above measures. This part is supposed to sound
like a melody then an echo, that is why the dynamics are indicated.
